Introduction The temperature of induction motor windings is known to affect the operating modes of the electric drive, particularly static mechanical characteristics and it also violates the settings of optimal control systems on any indicator of quality.
In [1] the effect of temperature on static mechanical properties of the traction electric drive with induction motor ED-900 is investigated.
So the question of studying thermal properties of asynchronous traction motor as the first object of temperature control arises in this connection.
Mechanical model of the traction drive is also a part of power unit.
Thus, the mismatch of signals from shaft revolution detectors (the scaling factors should be taken into account) will make it possible to define the modes of stalled connection and its elimination by introducing a corrective signal to the control system.

Introduction The concept of using a 'plastic inclusion' was proposed by Eshelby [1] as a useful mathematical approach to dealing with 'composite' materials, i.e. those where part of the material has undergone an 'instantaneous' change in properties, such as in a phase transformed zone or a region of plasticity.
It shows the variation in the three new stress intensity factors through a tensile half cycle of loading.

Introduction Aluminium is a noteworthy material for many applications such as aerospace, automotive because of its low density, high strength to weight ratio, high thermal conductivity, high specific strength and good corrosion resistance but their low hardness and poor wear-resistant properties challenge their applications [1, 2].
Earlier literature shows a large variety of ceramic particles were combined in various aluminium alloys in order to obtain improved physical and wear properties [3-6].
Considering the accomplishment of GRA, in the present work an attempt is made by employing TGRA technique to optimize the wear behaviour of AA7075-TiC in-situ composites, taking weight percentage of reinforcement, load, sliding velocity and sliding distance as control factors.
For studying the effect of TiC reinforcement on the wear properties, pure AA7075, AA7075+4%TiC and AA7075+8%TiC are produced by casting.
Before optimization the raw output responses are normalized between 0 to 1 based on the following quality characteristics by following relationships [9] Larger the better (5) Smaller the better (6) where, i = 1... m; k = 1... n; m is the number of experiments; n is the number factors; denotes the normalizing sequence; denotes original or comparability sequence.

Introduction Wood as a building material is widely used in construction and architecture due to its mechanical and operational properties, but due to its high flammability is considered to be a flammable material [1, 2].
In [8] the fire-retardant ability was investigated according to such combustion characteristics as weight loss, burning rate, maximum burning rate, but the chemical changes caused by the influence of these factors were not indicated.
In addition, many coatings have a number of disadvantages, such as the application of individual components, the loss of functional properties with increasing ambient temperature [13].
This composition forms on the surface of the wood a swollen layer of foam coke which effectively counteracts the temperature which is confirmed by the efficiency factor.

A commonly used multilayered structural design is that associated with the presence of compressive residual stresses developed in the laminate during cooling from sintering, as related to differences in elastic or thermal properties (Young's modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, etc.) between the layers [4-6].
Such stress distribution may affect the mechanical response of the material influencing the structural integrity of a given component.
The finite element model employed was a nine-layer structure, whose layer properties, i.e.
Regarding thermal properties, the thermal expansion coefficients (αΑΤΖ = 9.82 x 10 -6 K -1 and αAMZ = 8.02 x 10-6 K -1) were discretely introduced in the model from data corresponding to dilatometer curves, considering 1200 °C as the reference stress-free-state temperature.
Additionally, the tri-axial stress state at the surface of the laminate due to edge surface effects may affect the magnitude of the stresses measured by X-rays.

Its structure, morphology and properties were characterized by Ubbelohde viscometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) with a hot stage, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD).
Among main chain thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, wholly aromatic thermotropic polyesters are particularly attractive, which have received considerable attention due to their convenient use temperatures, excellent chemical resistance, relatively high glass transition temperature (Tg) as well as their excellent processing and mechanical properties[2].

The acceptance of FRP materials in bridge engineering is mainly due to their superior properties such as high strength, better durability, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance.
Equations of Vehicle-Bridge Using the displacement relationship and the interaction force relationship at the contact, and setting the equations (3-5) into the equations (1-2), the vehicle-bridge coupled system can be established by combining the equations of motion of both the bridge and vehicles as follows: (6) Comparing with Eqs.
